Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you, Ms Lin. That was an interesting speech.
女士們，先生們，早上好。謝謝，林女士。您的演講很有趣。
It is clear that you are very concerned about the present situation of our environment. As a business development consultant, I'm often seen as being against the environment.
很明顯你對我們現(xiàn)在的環(huán)境非常關(guān)心。作為一個(gè)經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展顧問，我經(jīng)常被認(rèn)為站在環(huán)境保護(hù)的對立面。
When people think of factories, they think of clouds of dirty smoke or of pipes pouring chemical waste into rivers.
一想到工廠，人們就會(huì)想到污濁的滾滾濃煙或者將化學(xué)廢料傾入河流的管道。
They think of greedy businessmen hiding from their responsibilities and only worrying about money.
他們想到貪婪的商人撇清自己的責(zé)任，并且只擔(dān)心錢。
People often have this belief that development is bad for the environment, but this does not have to be true.
人們常常認(rèn)為經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展對環(huán)境有害，但這不一定是正確的。
What I'm here to say is that having worked with many environmental consultants,
我在這里要說的是，在與很多環(huán)境學(xué)家工作后，
I know that a healthy environment and development should be possible at the same time.
我知道健康的環(huán)境和發(fā)展應(yīng)該是能夠并存的。
There are many factories and industries which control the amount of pollution they produce,
很多工廠和工業(yè)可以控制它們產(chǎn)生污染的數(shù)量，
and are very careful to spend money repairing any damage they cause.
并且很注意花錢彌補(bǔ)他們造成的破壞。
The people operating these factories are deeply concerned about the environment.
運(yùn)作這些工廠的人非常關(guān)心環(huán)境。
We need to stop thinking of companies and businessmen as the enemy, and give them more credit!
我們不應(yīng)該把公司和商人看做是敵人，而是應(yīng)該多信任他們！
